After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In the evening, Yan Qingqing was preparing to work overtime to train Li Xiangan and several people on opening a shop. Yuan Huiniang came over and said, "Mom, Wang Dong is here."

Yan Qingqing was a little surprised when he heard that, hadn't the matter been settled? Could it be that the child had not received compensation.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said: "You can lead him in."

Now Yan Qingqing's family is different from before, not just anyone can enter if they want to. And even if people who are not familiar with it come in, they don’t know which courtyard Yan Qingqing lives in.

Soon Yuan Huiniang led Wang Dong in. The child was holding a chicken in one hand and a duck in the other. He was walking with a limp, but he had a smile on his face.

After seeing Yan Qingqing, he knelt on the ground and said, "Auntie, Wang Dong has no way to repay your kindness, so I kowtow to you here."

Yan Qingqing quickly pulled him up from the ground and scolded: "You kid, what are you doing? My aunt has done nothing to deserve such a big courtesy from you."

Wang Dong said: "Auntie, you don't have to refuse. Although Wang Dong is young, he knows very well that without my aunt's protection today, it would be impossible for me to get the two taels of silver compensation.

Also, when my grandfather went there, my aunt gave me five hundred coins so that my grandfather could be buried smoothly.

The aunt is no worse than the reborn parents.

In fact, I have long wanted to kowtow to my aunt. But I was still in my filial piety period, and I was afraid of offending my aunt. "

Yan Qingqing saw that this child was thinking clearly and speaking eloquently. The key was that he knew how to be grateful, so he couldn't help but like him a little.

So he also said: "These are trivial matters not worth mentioning. We are all neighbors. Auntie will definitely help if she can."

Wang Dong nodded and said: "Auntie's righteousness, Wang Dong has always remembered it in his heart. This chicken and duck were snatched back from Li Erdan's house. I sent them back to my aunt because she left in a hurry."

In addition, my aunt said that they were only willing to pay me the two taels of silver because you didn't hold them accountable for stealing your chickens and ducks, so the two they ate must also be attributed to me.

I calculated that it will cost about [-] fen, plus the [-] fen that my aunt gave me. This is [-] fen, aunt, please take it. "

As he said this, he stuffed a bunch of copper coins into Yan Qingqing's hands. Since Yan Qingqing came to ancient times, the thing he has been exposed to the most is copper plates. He can count them by weighing them. This string of copper coins will only be more than [-] Wen and not less than [-] Wen.

Character is reflected in the details. Yan Qingqing didn't expect Wang Dong to be such a good boy, so she wanted to help him.

Wang Dong was afraid that Yan Qingqing would not accept it, so he put down the chickens, ducks and copper coins and left.

Yan Qingqing stopped him and said, "Auntie, I still have something important to tell you. Are you just going to leave like this?"

Sure enough, Wang Dong stopped after hearing this, turned around and looked at Yan Qingqing and asked: "Auntie, if you have anything to do, just tell me. If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely not refuse."

Wang Dong thought Yan Qingqing wanted him to help. But he also didn't think about what help his eleven or twelve-year-old child could do.

Yan Qingqing asked Yuan Huiniang to move a stool for him and let him sit down and chat slowly.

Wang Dong lowered his head in emotion. He was afraid that Yan Qingqing would see his tears. Although many people in the village sympathized with him since his grandfather passed away, few people respected him, let alone moved a stool for him to sit on.

Yan Qingqing didn't know that her inadvertent actions could touch this young man's sensitive heart.

Yan Qingqing smiled and asked: "My child, although you are still young, you are already 11 years old and there are no elders in the family. What are your plans for the future?"

Wang Dong sniffed and replied: "Auntie, I now have the money Li Erdan lost in my hand, and I plan to pay off the debt that grandpa owed during his lifetime."

Yan Qingqing nodded and continued to ask: "What about after paying off?"

Wang Dong thought for a while and said: "I plan to go to the city to find a job. No one will want me to carry a big bag, so I'm thinking about becoming an apprentice or something. Auntie, do you think it's okay?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "Your idea is good, but you have to know that even if you become an apprentice, others will not use you without guarantee."

It's not easy to be an apprentice these days. Not only is it a lot of work, but there is no salary. The most important thing is that it won't be used in ordinary shops without recommendation from acquaintances.

Wang Dong felt discouraged after hearing Yan Qingqing's words. This is already the best way of life he can think of.

Yan Qingqing looked at him and smiled and said, "Auntie, I have a job here. I wonder if you would like to do it?"

When Wang Dong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at Yan Qingqing and said, "Yes! Yes!"

Seeing his impatient look, Yan Qingqing smiled and asked, "Why don't you ask my aunt first what kind of job she does, and then you agree immediately, in case my aunt sells you."

Wang Dong laughed and said, "My aunt is a kind-hearted person. Even if she really sells me, the family she finds for me will definitely be good and better than the life I am living now."

Yan Qingqing knew that Wang Dong would not live a good life, but she did not expect that the child's life would be so bad.

So I stopped being too pretentious and said, "My aunt bought a shop in the city and planned to sell cooked food. It will open in a few days. The shop needs to recruit a few waiters, but I thought that even if I recruit people, I need someone who can help me." There are people you can trust.

After much deliberation, my aunt thinks you are quite suitable. I can ask you to teach Brother An later. If you learn well, it is not impossible for you to manage this shop later. "

Not to mention that Yan Qingqing is good at painting cakes, but look at Wang Dong, who has painted cakes for others before he even joined the job.

Wang Dong was excited at the beginning and then became unbelievable. Finally, he stood up and knelt down to Yan Qingqing. Yan Qingqing quickly helped him up, thinking that others would always kneel down. It will shorten her life.

Of course, Yan Qingqing is not without conditions. Even if Wang Dong is grateful now, there is no guarantee that he will not betray her in the face of interests in the future.

So Yan Qingqing said again: "Although Auntie trusts you, you still have to give Auntie a guarantee. Let's sign a long-term contract.

How about a five-year term? During these five years, you have to work for my aunt's family. Of course, my aunt will not treat you badly in terms of wages. "

As for Yan Qingqing, she is confident that even if Wang Dong wants to betray her, he will not dare to betray her in five years.

Wang Dong agreed immediately and said: "Auntie, let alone five years, I am willing to do it for the rest of my life."

Yan Qingqing saw that Wang Dong was also sincere, so he immediately signed a long-term contract, and Wang Dong pressed his fingerprints without hesitation.

Yan Qingqing asked Yuan Huiniang to give Wang Dong some medicine for bruises and injuries, and asked him to stay at home for two days. When he was ready, he came to his house to learn how to make various cooked foods.

Wang Dong immediately said that he had nothing to do and that he could come over to study tomorrow. He probably felt that he had a head start in life and Wang Dong no longer limped when he walked.
